UFC 118 Preview Part 6: Shawn Smith talks Couture-Toney, Edgar-Penn & Florian-Maynard

Previews, Top Story

Yesterday, I sat down with FoxSports to discuss one of the most anticipated fight cards of the year, with the UFC’s Boston debut having as its star attraction the eagerly anticipated “UFC vs. Boxing” superfight between Randy Couture and James Toney. It also features the rematch between Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn for the World Lightweight Title and a match between Kenny Florian and Gray Maynard to decide who will next face the new champion. I run down all three card fights and predict who will leave the Octagon victorious.
